I stand corrected...again....not enough coffee I guess....yes strange coins....

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

as mentioned by me before, unless there is a specific piece of gear you want to collect/use, if you are just trying to level up, see what the lowest level item is on your highest level character (other than boots) and use the following guide to determine which strike to run and chest to open

ex. If your lowest level gear is a helm, run the Blighted Chalice strike since you are guaranteed the helm (infuse it if you weren't running a hunter)

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

After weeks of high level gauntlets alluding me, I had a 400 set drop for my hunter in Trials (and a 400 warlock chest). That gets her to 399 and 400 will happen once IB hits on Tuesday. I have to be honest, I actually enjoy Trials more with no revives and radar.

Member when we had enough people to Raid? I member. Time to look to the 100 to get some runs in.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

If you are planning on doing this during the day today, message me if you need another. If I can't go full Dagger, at least I could do partial.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Are Faction and Vanguard gear capped at 390 or 395?

Finished one character's IB bounties last night. I'm not good at all in these "Crucible" type matches of PvP but at least in IB there are plenty like me just wanting to get the gear no matter how bad it is. When I lead the team in kills, that's saying a lot for who is out playing.

I did get my Titan to IB Level 3 from a holdout bounty that netted me a 395 Helm. Started my Hunter in IB...first time and he's already 2/3 the way. I'm just going to be playing as much as possible for the gear alone. If a group gets in I'd like to join but so far no complaints since everyone is in for gear no matter who you are.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

390.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

If you're on when I'm playing you're welcome to join. I tend to be on earlier than most of the Daggers. Plus, this IB is really easy to level up. I knocked out all of the bounties on my Warlock and most on my Hunter In about 4 hours.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

So I'm limited to....
Raid...which I haven't done yet...
Crucible....which I haven't done and suck at.....
Skeleton Keys and chests in Strikes getting gear and exotics which I've had luck at....
and now IB which seems to be the easiest way forward but limited to time...

....but Gunsmith can still go to_____?.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Just focus on one character in IB and use his extra crap to boost your other characters.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

390.

You left out Archon's Forge for Class Items, Ghosts and Artifacts up to 400.

And IB is Crucible. There's just more people playing when IB is around.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

The Clever Dragon with high caliber rounds feels like I'm cheating.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

I have a friend who sometimes sounds like a gunsmith knowing the details of the perks probably better than Bungie. There's a perk in the middle row...Braced Frame I think...that sets the stability almost at max that if you get High Caliber that gun just becomes insane. I haven't got mine leveled up to that but I might keep this one; plus for me it's at 395 which is good.

A question on the Exotic drop rate in IB....Is it close or say to doing the ToC in Strikes? I did the ToC in six matches and got two exotics which to me is not a bad ratio. But I didn't know if is it's about the same or a better chance than strikes. If anything it's much quicker.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Exotic drops are the same. Average is about 4-8 coins.

Yes, keep that gun. Not sure what your last column is, but braced frame and high caliber are the two most important. Mine doesn't even have braced frame (it has injection molding) and it's still great.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Thanks for letting me tag along last night. Was hoping a few more Daggers in the mix so we're all in party.

Apparently that Scout Rifle is rare; I got in with a bunch a friend is part of and all of them have been at it day one and just one has got that Scout Rifle. I did get the Sidearm and actually that's not bad...Solar at 396. I got the Sniper at 397 but it looks identical to the one I've got in The Forge. Might infuse it are just wait-and see. I have that exotic Zen Meteor at 390 and might infuse that.

...and I think the last column on the Clever Dragon is Secret Round. I will need to check all the other Clever Dragons I have...about 5 so far since it seems to be the typical gun drop

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

I wish. I've had a few clever dragons drop, and only one had HCR. That machine gun though...I can infuse pretty much any heavy I have to 400 that I'd use since I've gotten at least 10 of them.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Trade you a few Clever Dragons for a 400 anything.......the highest so far for me has been 397 which I was just tickled about. Just need a few more of them.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

All my Heavy exotics are now 400, except for Super Good Advice, as I don't have one of those right now. I also have a shitload of 400 primaries.

Didn't get much in the way of armor. Though I bought a couple of Iron Engrams and got the Iron Regalia Vestments with a pretty damn good roll. Just need a 400 chest for it.

It's not that the scout is rare, it's that it's not the drop item this month. Pulse rifles and machine guns are the only guns you will get as a drop this month. Last month it was auto rifles and shotguns. Next month it might be scout rifles and fusions.

If someone has the scout, it came from one of the two bounties that drop legendary weapons or the quest if you still have that. Those can drop any of the current IB weapons. Same with that sidearm.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

It's that time again, now an hour earlier! It's the Xur Report!

Xur is located in the Reef...again.

Here's his deals:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cw-KOWXUQAAS4fJ.jpg

The LEGACY Engram this week is for Primary Weapons. Don't Buy This...

For the Titan, it's Twilight Garrison. Mmmmkay

For the Hunter, it's a Xur Debut, the Frost-EE5 boots. Cut your melee and grenade cooldowns in half while running. Awesome.

For the Warlock, it's the Apotheosis Veil. Want your melee, grenade and health back when using your super? Here ya go.

The weapon this week is the Monte Carlo. Pew Pew Pew. Punch Punch Punch.

Ornaments this week:

Prototype for Truth. Want a Truth that basically looks like the Truth already does? Here ya go.

The Wolves Remember for The Young Wolves Howl. Black and gold sword. He sold this a couple weeks ago.

And that'll do it for the text report. Stay tuned for the video report, coming up next.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Thanks Scott again for the Weekly Xur Report.....

I'll continue with ToC for me having gone thru a lot with one character in IB; my other two have a healthy 70 each which I'll bring back in this weekend before IB comes to a close. It's a Win-Win situation in there with higher gear to use and infuse and possible exotic drop....

Good to play with a full set of Daggers last night even though I didn't contribute much. But for me the name of the game is gear. I did land a few pieces at 387-398 with one at 399 including a Ghost. But I did officially land my first 400 piece; the Fusion Rifle as a reward from a bounty.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Wow. This thread sure has slowed down... Anyway, it's that time of week again. Time for the Xur Report.

Xur is located in the Reef...again. 3 weeks straight now.

Here's his deals:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxiJpTHW8AAz_ST.jpg

The LEGACY Engram is for Chests. Don't buy this.

For the Titan, it's the Eternal Warrior helmet. Don't buy this.

For the Hunter, it's Knucklehead Radar. The Gheleon Artifact does everything this helmet does...and more!

For the Warlock, it's The Impossible Machines. Want a mini fist of havoc with your stormtrance? Here ya go.

The Weapon this week is SUROS Regime. Always bet on Black...

Ornaments this week:

Shock Hazard for Zhalo Supercell. Sexy, fancy, sleek. Zhalo.

Born In Fire for The Young Wolves Howl. Fiery shards of swordiness. Xur likes this weapon for some reason.

And that'll do it for the text version this week. Here's the video:

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

^ as always, thanks. I was finally able to hit up Xur last week to stock up on coins.

Going to be interesting to see what Bungie does. There needs to be some serious content or game changes to last until Destiny 2.

Does anybody know if Destiny received an HDR patch?

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Thanks as always Scott for the Xur update....it looks like ToC for me....and I'm sitting on several glove exotics anyways just waiting till I had all three characters at 399 to pop a few. And the last three Primary Exotics I've popped...all have been the Suros but it's been 393, 398 and 400. But I do have several of those Clever Dragons to infuse with if needed.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

It's that time of year again...time for the Xur Report: BLACK FRIDAY EDITION!!!

This is my 3rd report of Xur's Black Friday madness, and to get everyone in the proper mindset, here's what Xur had to offer on Black Friday 2014, straight from my original post!:

And from 2015:

So as you can see, Xur has a lot to live up to on Black Friday. I mean he's offered such amazing deals in the past on the day we honor consumerism, how will he ever top it?

Xur is located in the Hangar this week, next to the stairs.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyGOyPLVEAE3wle.jpg

The LEGACY Engram is for Helmets. Do Not Buy

For the Titan, it's Immolation Fists. Seriously?

For the Hunter, it's the Crest Of Alpha Lupi...AGAIN! For the 3rd straight Black Friday! The Fuck?

For the Warlock, it's Voidfang Vestments...AGAIN! for the 2nd BF in 3 years!

The weapon this week is Patience & Time. Both of which are running thin for me with Xur...

Ornaments: I'll save you the trouble: Both suck this week. Prototype for Truth and Iconoclast for Invective.

Member when we all looked forward to Xur's arrival every week? I member!

Maybe..just maybe Santa Xur will bring us something better this year. Now I gotta look those up...

Anyway, that's the text report. Stay tuned for the video...where I try and make something out of this crap salad, coming up.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

:lol: How do you really feel? Good report!

Re: Bungie - Destiny
